I asked this before but let me ask it again in a different way. I have two machines of my home lan. When I ping the lan router 5 ping cycles take essentially the smae time. I am pinging to a 1p address.
I can ping an external internet address and the pings take essentially the same time.
However, I ask one of the machines to get content through a browser things grind to a halt. The same thing happens when I do a yum operation
Sounds like DNS problems. In which case just
host news.bbc.co.uk
or whatever on the bad box should also go away for a long time.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
on the two boxes and see if there are any differences.

The two resolv.conf are the same on both boxes. I am not sure what : host news.bbc.co.uk is supposed to do for me.
